I can't stand anything around my neck (top button shirts, neck ties) so when I did use a camera strap I used the one that came with the camera. I would always modify them 'cause me the "thinner the better" however, I couldn't stand the back and forth swingin' of the camera on my chest. Enter Op/Tech USA. I use their "Camera/Binoc Harness" when I'm gonna be out for a long period and use their "Utility Sling Strap" for shorter treks. These two units have totally solved my camera carrying problems.
